SECTOR 3 The Zimbabwe Association of Community Radio Stations (ZACRAS) was formed to be the common voice of the sector and to prepare communities for the day when there will be alternative media voices on the airwaves. In fact, however, only a few of the existing community radio initiatives will be in a position to really go on air after having been issued a license. Scores: Individual scores: * 1 Country does not meet indicator 2 Country meets only a few aspects of indicator. 3 Country meets some aspects of indicator 4 Country meets most aspects of indicator 5 Country meets all aspects of the indicator Average score: 1.0 (2008: 1.0 ; 2006:1.0) Average score for sector 3: 1.4 (2008 :1.4; 2006:1.1 )* For 2009 the indicators were reviewed, amended and some new indicators such as those addressing Information Communication Technology (ICT) were added. Consequently, the comparison of some indicators of the 2005 and 2007 report is not applicable (n/a) in some instances in which the indicator is new or has been amended. Evidently, this has to be taken into account too, when the overall sector scores are compared. AFRICAN MEDIA BAROMETER ZIMBABWE 2010 55
